Can't seem to make it come any bigger than this, I hope it is big enough! Thanks

k. i opened the pic in a new window, saved it and uploaded it to my photobucket. dunno why it was so small when you inserted it!
anyhoo, here it is.
some type of orchid. maybe? not sure as that flower (nice as it is) doesn't look like any type of orchid flower i've ever seen!
could be some type of hoya or even an aloe or other kind of succulent.

Not hoya, not aloe. It reminds me of something. I'll look around some and see what I can find.

i agree, myndful!! i'd like one too!!
margaret, i didn't really think aloe or hoya - but you never know as there are SO many varieties!! so i threw it out there anyway!
maybe some type of bromeliad??

I think haemanthus, the flower is right and the wide strap leaves. Here are some places to look:

Unlike many Haemanthus species, the bulbs of this one produce offsets readily.
oooohhh if that's the case, put me on the waiting list for trade out....i will find something to trade for a start!![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)
